Do you mean 4 million (4M) files? The performance on a directory with that many files will be terrible, to say the least. I'm surpised you did not run out of inodes....
There is nothing wrong with your command. It probably takes 60 seconds to locate one file name in the directory and delete it.
Try this, and check back on Monday.... assume your directory name is ad.
You need to get rid of the directory as well. Then recreate it.

I discovered that GNU's xargs has a -P option to allow its processes to run in parallel. Great! Is this a GNU thing, or is it supported by other platforms as well? (4 Replies)

pegasus-remove
PEGASUS-REMOVE(1)PEGASUS-REMOVE(1)NAME
pegasus-remove - removes a workflow that has been planned and submitted using pegasus-plan and pegasus-run
SYNOPSIS
pegasus-remove [-d dagid] [-v] [rundir]
DESCRIPTION
The pegasus-remove command remove a submitted/running workflow that has been planned and submitted using pegasus-plan and pegasus-run. The
command can be invoked either in the planned directory with no options and arguments or just the full path to the run directory.
OPTIONS
By default pegasus-remove does not require any options or arguments if invoked from within the planned workflow directory. If running the
command outside the workflow directory then a full path to the workflow directory needs to be specified or the dagid of the workflow to be
removed.
pegasus-remove takes the following options:
-d dagid, --dagid dagid
The workflow dagid to remove
-v, --verbose
Raises debug level. Each invocation increase the level by 1.
rundir
Is the full qualified path to the base directory containing the planned workflow DAG and submit files. This is optional if
pegasus-remove command is invoked from within the run directory.
RETURN VALUE
If the workflow is removed successfully pegasus-remove returns with an exit code of 0. However, in case of error, a non-zero exit code
indicates problems. An error message clearly marks the cause.
FILES
The following files are opened:
braindump
This file is located in the rundir. pegasus-remove uses this file to find out paths to several other files.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
PATH
The path variable is used to locate binary for condor_rm.
